We’re watching Stargate SG-1. Still great.
I love that show so much. I rewatch it all the time
Oooh, where are you up to?
Mid way through season 2. We’ve just had the one where Teal’c is turning into a bug.
Mid90s, Ip Man and Dark
Gave Shawn of the Dead and Zoolander a go this week. Both are still enjoyable.
I watched the first episode of The Caped Crusader. The latest Batman animated show from Bruce Timm: the guy behind the original Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League.
Only one episode so far, so who knows how it’ll turn out, but that was a fantastic opener. It’s got a very noir tone and is exactly what I want to see from a Batman show. Kinda dark, but not in the moody “gritty realism” that made the DC live action movies so terrible.
It’s got that classic low-level Batman beginning where he’s going against mobsters and corrupt politicians & police, and people are doubting if he’s even real. The big bad of this episode is a gender swapped Penguin, with guest appearances from a very corrupt Harvey Bullock and a pre–Two Face Harvey Dent.
It’s not in the DCAU, but it has the same stylish moody tone as some of the best episodes of BTAS like Heart of Ice.
Dersu Urzala from Akira Kurosawa. Great movie about friendship and “civilization” vs life in nature. It was slower and more contemplative
Trap from Night Shyamalan. I had a lot of fun but the movie is average and you will be disappointed if you expect it to be realistic
After Stormgate, which I was looking forward to, came out to be kind of meh, I reinstalled Starcraft and catched up on recent Florencio Files. I like PiG’s casting, and Florencio’s games are so entertaining to watch, how off-meta and nonsensocal they are, while also miracolously working. IIRC he plays in GM league, while his mechanics and gameplay is so weird but still somehow works. It’s fun.
My favourite has been this game, the sneaky probe is such a genius move - https://youtu.be/-tlQv_r5w_s?si=Mb5Zb3hCxUXIpQh-
I love Chinese drama so I’ve been watching Love’s Rebellion with Zhang Linghe. I also watched Umbrella Academy and Unstable this past week.
The Serpent Queen! I’m not into period stuff very much but this is delightful and surprisingly comical.
I watched Furiosa since I missed it while in theaters
THE ORANGUTAN IS A STAND USER?!
(JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures Stardust Crusaders rewatch)
I watched Akira. Hooooooooly cow, that was an insane trip. I had no idea it went that far out and had so much permanent impact on many industries, rightfully so!!
